Code of Civility

To promote a positive, collegial atmosphere among students, faculty, and staff, UMUC has developed the following Code of Civility:

Respect
Treat all students, faculty, and staff with respect and in a professional and courteous manner at all times and in all communications, whether in person or in written communication (including e-mail).

Kindness
Refrain from using profanity, insults, or other disparaging remarks.

Truth
Endeavor to cite only the truth and not knowingly misrepresent, mischaracterize, or misquote information received from others.

Responsibility
Take responsibility for our own actions instead of blaming others.

Cooperation
Work together with other students, faculty, and staff in a spirit of cooperation toward our common goals of seeking and providing quality education.

Privacy
Strive to uphold the right to privacy and not talk about others.

Nondiscrimination
Respect the differences in people and their ideas and opinions and reject bigotry.

Code of Student Conduct

Students are subject to the UMUC Code of Student Conduct.  Violations of the code are considered to be violations of UMUC policy and are grounds for discipline by UMUC. UMUC’s Code of Student Conduct can be found in Appendix G of the 2005/2006 Undergraduate Catalog (1.4 MB Adobe Acrobat *.pdf file) or online at http://www.umuc.edu/policy/stud15100.shtml.
